Biography

This profile describes Anna, born about September 1871 in Pennsylvania, who became the spouse of Frank Bernard Downs. All in-life data in this profile derive solely from census records, which may not be precisely accurate as to her origin. Uncertainty prevails regarding her maiden name and ancestry, in view of her depiction in an online memorial site as Annie Fitzgerald (1870 - 7 Jun 1932, daughter of Anna (O'Leary) and Hubert Fitzgerald). For these reasons, the currently attached maternal parent is checked uncertain. Additional investigation and more robust sourcing are encouraged to support this profile, with edits and revised attachments to relevant ancestors expected.

Anna and Frank B. Downs had the following children:

This family resided at Pittsburgh in 1900 [1], thereafter in Knoxville, Pennsylvania [2],[3].

Anna (McCarthy, or Fitzgerald) Downs died 7 Jun1932 at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Her grave is represented to be in Calvary Cemetery, Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, USA [4]. No grave marker is depicted.

McCarthy-4343 and McCarthy-2438 appear to represent the same person because: Both represent the spouse of Frank Downs, who also is duplicated.

Anna's maiden name / NAB, needs to be corrected to McCarthy.
